Seems reasonable, but I worry about the command growing too noisy.

Could this be guarded by an advice.<something> setting?  (See advice.*
in git-config(1) for what I mean.)

Perhaps:

	...
		_("  (or use \"git merge --abort\" to abort the merge)"));

to clarify that this is an alternative to the advice immediately above.

`status_printf_ln` already prints a newline, so the translated message
shouldn't include an extra one.

Thanks,
Jonathan
